2012 was a great year for the BLP. One thing that happened early in the year was that I was one of three NCU faculty who taught for the annual chapel series, “First Things Last,” and it was recorded, so I can share the link with you. It’s a chance for you to hear my one hour BLP session on I Corinthians 12-14, entitled, “The Law of Love.” It can be downloaded here.
Of course the big event was my trip to Germany in July/August, which many of you helped make possible with generous financial support. I taught the extended version of the BLP at Connect, a training week for leaders of Students For Christ-Europe. Here are some photos that can help you see what I was up to there:
I taught a smart and curious group of missionaries and student leaders from 12 countries. Their questions kept me hopping. For Connect attendees who were in other classes, I also offered a workshop which summarized some of my materials.
Because our location was close to the University of Koeln, where I was campus missionary from 1987-1994, a very special event was an intercessory prayer walk that I led one afternoon. There is no SFC group in Koeln currently, but much movement towards starting something up again. These are some of our bold prayer-warriors, including Julia (far right), who was one of our student leaders back in the day, and who continues to be an active leader in her church.
Another wonderful experience was a reunion of the old-timers from our ministry in Koeln. They showed up at Connect one afternoon, and we sat and talked for hours. It was clear how significant student ministry had been in forming their adult lives and decisions about ministry, family, and church involvement.
If you were a financial or prayer supporter of the Biblical Literacy Project in 2012, I would like to say once more that you have made it possible for college level Bible teaching to reach people who wish to grow in their faith. They are grateful, and I am grateful for the chance to be used in this way.
I would love to teach the BLP in your church or group in 2013. The material is completely flexible as to length and topic, so we can fit your needs. Please contact me with questions, ideas, brain-storming. See our contact page.
Blessings,
Amy Anderson
